¹فاخذ الفلسطينيون تابوت الله واتوا به من حجر المعونة الى اشدود.

¹And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ezer to Ashdod.

²واخذ الفلسطينيون تابوت الله وادخلوه الى بيت داجون واقاموه بقرب داجون.

²And the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.

³وبكر الاشدوديون في الغد واذا بداجون ساقط على وجهه الى الارض امام تابوت الرب. فاخذوا داجون واقاموه في مكانه.

³And when they of Ashdod arose early the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.

⁴وبكروا صباحا في الغد واذا بداجون ساقط على وجهه على الارض امام تابوت الرب وراس داجون ويداه مقطوعة على العتبة. بقي بدن السمكة فقط.

⁴And when they arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the fish-stump was left to him.

⁵لذلك لا يدوس كهنة داجون وجميع الداخلين الى بيت داجون على عتبة داجون في اشدود الى هذا اليوم

⁵Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any that come into Dagon's house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.

⁶فثقلت يد الرب على الاشدوديين واخربهم وضربهم بالبواسير في اشدود وتخومها.

⁶And the hand of Jehovah was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he laid them waste, and smote them with hemorrhoids, -- Ashdod and its borders.

⁷ولما رأى اهل اشدود الامر كذلك قالوا لا يمكث تابوت اله اسرائيل عندنا لان يده قد قست علينا وعلى داجون الهنا.

⁷And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us; for his hand is severe upon us, and upon Dagon our god.

⁸فارسلوا وجمعوا جميع اقطاب الفلسطينيين اليهم وقالوا ماذا نصنع بتابوت اله اسرائيل. فقالوا لينقل تابوت اله اسرائيل الى جتّ. فنقلوا تابوت اله اسرائيل.

⁸And they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they said, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about to Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about [thither].

⁹وكان بعد ما نقلوه ان يد الرب كانت على المدينة باضطراب عظيم جدا وضرب اهل المدينة من الصغير الى الكبير ونفرت لهم البواسير.

⁹And it came to pass that, after they had carried it about, the hand of Jehovah was against the city with very great panic; and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and hemorrhoids broke out upon them.

¹⁰فارسلوا تابوت الله الى عقرون. وكان لما دخل تابوت الله الى عقرون انه صرخ العقرونيون قائلين قد نقلوا الينا تابوت اله اسرائيل لكي يميتونا نحن وشعبنا.

¹⁰And they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, when the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people.

¹¹وارسلوا وجمعوا كل اقطاب الفلسطينيين وقالوا ارسلوا تابوت اله اسرائيل فيرجع الى مكانه ولا يميتنا نحن وشعبنا لان اضطراب الموت كان في كل المدينة. يد الله كانت ثقيلة جدا هناك.

¹¹And they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, that it kill us not, and our people. For there was deadly alarm throughout the city: the hand of God was very heavy there;

¹²والناس الذين لم يموتوا ضربوا بالبواسير فصعد صراخ المدينة الى السماء

¹²and the men that died not were smitten with the hemorrhoids; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
